A helping hand in the forest

In Poland, today is unofficially known as ‘truant’s day’ - the first day of spring, when many schoolkids take an illicit day off. We don’t want to lead you astray, but today’s definitely a day to take it easy - how about making sure to take a full lunch hour, getting out into the fresh air?

reclaim your lunch hour!

Banish all those traumatic memories of smelly school dinners by enjoying a great British food that’s in season at the moment - cabbage. This vastly underrated vegetable is best cooked very, very gently, if at all - overcook it at your peril!

A historic event takes place today, as the whole 84-mile length of Hadrian’s Wall will be illuminated, forming a line of light stretching from Segedunum Roman Fort at Wallsend in the North-East to Bowness-on-Solway in Cumbria. If you’re in the area tonight, it’s not to be missed.
